The Law Can’t Stop Us – It Can Catch Up
July 16, 2009 | Comments Off
I don’t think of myself as a man who gloats, especially over the misfortune of others.

Over those [...]

UK’s Serious Fraud Office Revisiting EU Problem
July 9, 2009 | Comments Off
You may remember my visit to the Serious Fraud Office with Marta Andreasen in 2005, when we delivered two densely-packed box files of material detailing the scale of the fraud and deliberate financial mismanagement of British public funds by the European Union.

Despite my wife being a graduate linguist, we agree from that start that [...]

And All Before Eight in the Morning
July 7, 2009 | Comments Off
After a night out at the theatre, my wife and I slept in next morning. At 7.00am I got up to make her a cup of tea.
I switched on Ceefax only to see that, in the year the scheme had been running, the million pounds of British taxpayers’ money spent on the [...]

This sensational, devastating analysis of the consequences of Turkey joining the EU, A Bridge Too Far, by two Flemish authors Philip Claeys and Koen Dillen, is not readily available in the UK.
But it has now been re-published in English and is available on this site.
